Reliance Jio denies chat app sends unsecured data

A
group of hackers has claimed that Reliance Jio Infocomm's (RJIL's)
mobile messaging app Jio Chat transmits users' data in unsecured form to
servers located in China, a charge denied by the company.

"We
took apart Reliance Jio app and found they are using Chinese geolocation
mapping service. It shows that Reliance is using a geolocation which is
China-based service," said AnonOpsIndia, a twitter account claiming to
represent a group of hackers. "There is no encryption between the person
using Jio chat app and Chinese company amap. Hence, it makes it lot
easier for the Chinese hackers to snoop over your data," AnonOpsIndia
tweeted. agencies
